This past Thursday, we had a meet and greet with artist Cathy Liu and had a good time talking about her upcoming show. She talked about the inspirations for her works and told us why it is that she paints.
Cathy mentioned that as she gets older and as she continues to perfect her craft, she wants her work to move towards a more simplified, organic idea. She's continually working and reworking her craft in order to achieve this goal.
What I would like to see happen for this upcoming show is to incorporate some of the shapes that Cathy uses in her work and somehow bring those shapes off the canvas. How we're going to do that, is still a question. Cathy brought in some books and what I got from those books is that she's got more of a minimalistic approach. It totally makes sense because it's her life's goal to move her work into a more simplified manner. Perhaps we could show case her pieces in chronological order to show her refinement?
I was also thinking about something in chronological order. Her earlier work is a little more cluttered and I was thinking we could maybe place those pieces closer together compared to her newer work where we place it more sparsely.
